The essential equipment for your Trek

Trekking requires precise and well thought out equipment to obtain the ideal weight to carry during your long itinerary.

Here is for you a guide on the essential equipment for your Trek, while making sure you do not end up with a bag too heavy unnecessarily :

- backpack: this is the most important choice. Choose a functional and comfortable bag because you will wear it for many hours. Take at least a 40L and ideally a 60L. Don't take a bag too big, you will be tempted to overfill it.

- sleeping bag

- shoes with non-slip and waterproof soles

- clothing: socks, trousers, t-shirt, headwear to protect from the sun. Avoid cotton, not very breathable.

- fleece in case of temperature drop.

- waterproof jacket in case of rain.

- metal bottle for water and food.

- disinfectant tablets for water: they eliminate 99.99% of bacteria and protozoa so don't forget them to fill your flask.
